Stuff going on

Posted on by nolageek

I meet people in the stranges places. I met a guy in the mall rather by accident yesterday and wound up chatting in the New Orleans Center food court over a diet coke. Nice guy, totally hitting on me, although very married. It was a neat 40 minutes that won’t happen again, I’m sure.

Speaking on the personal tip, things are actually going well with a guy I’m dating; a little too well I think. Sure, he’s nice, funny, cute, smart, etc. and sure, 5 years ago I would have turned obsessive by now and started picking out plate patterns at Big Lots, but in my current state of being I don’t really want to jump into anything too serious right away. I’m kind of liking not being attached to anyone. Although I am still looking for an “LTR,”, I’ve never spent any significant amount of time seeing different people and for once I’m comfortable enough and out enough to do just that. I dunno, maybe I’m reading too much into it, or it’s my own paranoia. I just don’t want to be the one to make it into a big deal by bringing it up prematurely. Uhg. It’s totally chicken shit of me putting this here, knowing he’ll probably read it eventually. Maybe I’ll leave it up for a while then remove or hide it.

Yeah, that’s much less chicken shit.

Holiday Wrap Up

Posted on by nolageek

The holidays went ok I guess. Like clockwork every year around October I get very excited about the holiday season. I tell co-workers and friends how I can’t wait to decorate. Every year is the year I’m actually going to do it. Sure, I said I would the year before and didn’t… but this time it’s going to be different. Really. This time I’m going to get a tree; a small one since we have cats now. I’m going to Big Lots and buying tons of lights for the house. Really. I’m going to string them up along the windows and spell out “ho ho ho” with those letter forms I bought three years ago. I’m going to Wal-Mart and buying a santa hat and an elf hat that I I’ll wear every day, wherever I go during the season. I’ll even buy some fireworks for New Years while I’m at it. Really.

I’m going to start buying presents early so I can buy everyone I know something cool.

…

I’ll do it all next year. Really.
